Hello Serge,
Truth to say, I don't remember coming across this gate during my several trips to Dijon during the early 1990s; it is certainly big enough! I like the point of view here and the animated atmosphere. The backlighting is well managed. Pleasing warm light and colours.

It may not be the grand Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but is certainly doesn't need to be...it's just right for Dijon! :) What a great city this is too, wish I could spend more time here. What impresses me the most with this shot is your controlled exposure, the highlights are perfectly in tact while the majority of the scene is shaded, but well detailed and viewable in its own right. An instance where placing the main subject in the middle of the composition works well. A nice way to showcase this arch and its surroundings. Have a great week ahead. Take care.

I didn't know there was an Arc de Triomphe in Dijon but that is exactly what it is. It makes a great subject for photography, standing so emphatically in the centre of the market place, with interesting backlighting.
You have given us lots of details about its situation, fine leads and a good composition.

Bonjour Serge,
I like very much the street arches. They are so photogenic, they add a nice touch to the street life, nowadays not very practical.
Very nice capture here with fantastic sky -the cloud especially introduces an unusual mood.
Excellent work,
M
